you know it's a special day when there's teacakes on the table - perhaps an elderly reltive is having a birthday or a younger relative got found not guilty of a crime they did commit but they managed to intimidate the witnesses into not testifying THESE occassions would be cheapened by the use of an everyday biscut, no matter how great it is.

except that you know there's somethign special about a biscuit when its mere appearance brightens the day. Would a teacake brighten a miserable grey day when the power's out and the light is failing? Well, yes, it would. As much as a pack of 10 caramel wafers? No.

# TJ
While the board is still relatively slow, I need to jack this thread (sorry ninj) to ask for some techie type advice.

I'm currently trying to take a long mp3 track (basically a whole 90 minute cassette burned to my PC) and edit it to lots of smaller tracks which I can then burn onto CD.

I've tried with Audacity but have become seriously baffled with all the different buttons and options. I just need something where I can play back the track, highlight any section I want to record, and export it as a wav or wma file.

My big problem (apart from being an idiot) is that the recording is taken from the radio and there are no obvious breaks in the recording that I can use for cutting and pasting purposes.

Does anyone know a really good, idiot-proof, preferably free, program I can use? It's getting close to Christmas and I need to get this rather enormous project finished, as it's a present for someone.

Thank you in advance anyone who sat through all that, and apologies to ninj for stealing his thread.

# can't think of a free solution off the top of my head

# There should be MP3 cutters available out there
foobar2000 can do it but it's a nerd program written for nerds like me, it's really user-unfriendly for anything but playback.

The problem with doing things the way you're suggesting is the loss of quality -- each time you save an MP3 as an MP3 it gets passed through all the filters again and loses quality each time, same the copy of a copy of a tape was significantly worse than the original tape. So if you've saved a stream as an MP3 in the first place, ideally you want to avoid cutting it up and REsaving it as an MP3. (If you saved it as a WAV then ignore this, your approach is fine and I'd suggest get hold of Goldwave, it's shareware but fully functional. It's like Audacity but not designed by locking a million dorrito-addicted monkeys in a room and forcing them to ejaculate over a computer keyboard. I fucking hate Audacity, it's gash. Goldwave's really nice though.)

You avoid the quality loss problem with a cutting program. I seem to recall that there's one called mp3split that might do the trick.

# Braveheart meets Ferngully meets Pocahontas meets half a dozen computer games

But it should be some nice eyecandy, as long as you can watch it in 2d and aren't forced to sit through fuzzy vision for 3 hours

# Up was beautiful in 3d
mainly because they only had one leap out the screen at you moment, and the rest added depth to big vistas. I can't help feeling that things whizzing past constantly and monsters leaping about is going to be quite nausea inducing

# So does this new-fangled 3D work then?
watching Flesh for Frankenstein on C4 the other night, it seemed to all be in sepia, and gave me a headache, but it worked... sort of, even if the 3D effects were all a bit blurry.

I've not seen anything NEW in 3D

# In the cinema it works through polarisation with 2 projectors and polarised lenses, so you get full colour - it looks really good (just as long as you keep your head straight and don't move about too much :P)
On telly it's not quite that easy and therefore, looks a bit poo.

# in guesswork, luddite terms.... you wear sunglasses with a kind of twisted lense in each
So everything is darker and less vibrant than normal, but its better than the sepia look of old.

Which is why I'd rather watch the film in 2d. But its not being described as a film its a rollercoaster - just without the excitement, vibration and wind, and with lost of long story bits.

# Coraline worked in 3D too
I think it's the use of 3D to add depth, rather than throw stuff at your face, which made it effective and subtle, rather than gimmicky.

I'm looking forward to Avatar a lot. I bet I'll be disappointed, but for some reason I'm a bit excited about it.

Possibly because I'm tall and blue and it's rare to see my point of view in films.

# I thought the opposite in Coraline
It was horribly gimmicky, weird stuff stood out that distracted from the story - The first thing I remember of that film is a bowl of peas on the dinner table!

Terrible film, not a patch on Corpse Bride or Nightmare, appalling adaptation of the source too
(, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 10:59, archived)
# How odd that I disagree so strongly.
I loved the book, and I like the film a lot. Very different, certainly not a direct port over, and with a different feel, but I had a good time. I really liked the 3D, I didn't find it intrusive at all. The noly "showy" bit I remember is the flight over the garden.

If you want bad modern 3D, the excellently shite "The Final Destination" is a great example of a poorly made film that could have nonetheless been a good laugh, crippled by un-necessary special effects and idiotic, poorly implemented 3D.

# top tip:
This type of drawing (plain colors, no gradients) gets a whole lot smaller in (file)size when saved as .gif instead of .jpg while still maintaining best image quality.
Also, get rid of the HTML scaling and scale down your originals instead (you can still link to a larger version if you must). These steps should easily bring it down to under 100kb.

As I said, try using the gif format, here's one that's readable and only about 75k in size (using 64 colors). Alternatively, use higher jpg compression.

# Fuck me
HOW BIG DO YOU WANT?

People did ask you before, you replied, you acknowledged it was big (though you didn't change the picture). Then you go and post a picture that's 600 fucking k (edit: got carried away there). Which isn't much but it's six times bigger than the guideline, which even with a liberal take on filesizes is just taking the fucking piss.

This would probably be 80k if you saved it as a GIF or an indexed PNG -- with no loss of quality whatosever. Leaving it as an absurdly large JPG is nothing more than sheer fucking laziness.
